What is Double Room?

A double room is a hotel room which consists of one bed for one person or two people. Bed lying in it can be a double queen size or a king size bed.

Generally this is an ideal room for couples, but it is available for single people as well. It has all the general amenities like attached bathroom, television, fan, AC, a double bed(queen sized or king sized).

Double room’s average size is between 11square metres or 118.41 square feet with a minimum width of 2.55 metres or 8 feet.  Double room is ideal for couples, or simply for two girls or boys, or sometimes family.

When a family books a double room, children are accommodated in different rooms or some hotels arrange an extra bed with extra charges.

Charges for double rooms vary from hotel to hotel. Double rooms sometimes have different charges depending upon the faculties and quality of a particular room.

To book double room unmarried couples must carry their id cards with them. Even in the case of married couples, id cards are important.

Twin rooms are ideal for friends or any other group. Two people can be accommodated in one twin room.

The minimum size of the twin room is 39 to 74 inches. Size of room may vary from hotel to hotel.
